      I guess cruel Mikey Johnson was afraid the vote would pass to extend the subsidies after all and so had to stop it dead in its tracks.

    2. Oh, you mean that thing they explicitly „promised“ to do in response to those 9 craven, dipshit democrats caving to end the shutdown? Wow! What a shock! Who could have guessed that the republicans were full of shit and liars that can’t be trusted to uphold their end of any bargain.

      Vote these heartless men out in the midterms. Vote them out! So far as they have their money coming in, with all the other benefits they get, every other person can go to hell for all they care. These GOP congressmen don’t love you, they don’t think of you are entitled to any help from your country. Vote them out

      Masterful shutdown negotiations, guys. Really just a top-notch performance from Democratic leadership, Fetterman, Kaine, and the rest. /s

      I’ve lost track, has Mike Johnson brought anything to the floor without a discharge petition other than the BBB?

    6. Time after time republicans show you cannot work with them. They cannot be trusted or relied upon. They only care about money in their pockets, their religion, and their guns. Everything else is a non-issue.

      so the plan is to let people lose coverage to prove a point? thats not strategy, thats sabotage with extra steps.

      So I guess after years of Republicans bloviating about “Death Panels”, the House GOP has become one big Death Panel. Citizens will die because of their sickening mendacity.

      Midterms are less than a year away: Don’t let them tell you your vote doesn’t matter! It’s a privilege and a right.

    10. If these repubs wanted to make things happen 6 of them could switch to the dem side and lets go!

      but they won’t. this is performative garbage from the party that honestly doesn’t want to govern. they want the power but they don’t want to actually serve.

    11. What are people on ObamaCare going to do? It will be unaffordable insurance, and there is not a viable alternative. Trump’s plan to negotiate for insurance is ridiculous. Anyone with a previous condition, especially elderly, would not be able to afford coverage. Meanwhile, insurance companies would be the winners.

      Trump has absolutely no idea about health care costs and coverage.

      America first except for: public education, public health, public infrastructure, public lands, public housing, public libraries, public radio, public television, medical research, social security, IRS, USPS, NOAA, OSHA, suicide prevention, worker rights, minimum wages, school lunches, disaster aid, environmental protections, utility subsides, renewable energy….

      But they’ve got trillions to add to the national debt, build concentration camps across the nation, fund a faceless heavily armed army that answer only to the executive branch, give billions to Israel and Argentina, tax cuts to their wealthiest donors, gold plate the white house, build ball rooms and monuments, multi million dollar golf outings, private planes, guarding strippers, firing then rehiring entire agencies worth of people, casual war crimes in Venezuela, protect rapists, persecute small groups of minorities, rename bodies of water, renovating golf courses…

      Anyone surprised by this must have had their head buried in the sand for the past few decades.

    14. TheGOPisTheDeepState on

      The Republican Party is really good at destroying the country and economy, doing nothing for the American people and protecting pedophiles.

    15. Adventurous-Term5062 on

      First, no one is surprised. Everyone knew the republicans would welch. That is what they do.

      Second, democrats are weak. They are going to shout and stamp their feet – you promised!!!

      Someone needs to step up, kick some ass, and lead.

    16. SpareManagement2215 on

      this is a massive political L for the Republican party, and IMO has largely sealed their fate for the 2026 mid terms.

    17. Turn the Democrat house upside down. Get AOC, Jasmine Crockett, and the younger politicians who actually seem to want to change the status quo. Enough already, just retire.

    18. Supernatural0311 on

      American citizens need a fresh start from top to bottom; left and right. We’ve been sold out by damn near everyone we’ve voted for, across the board.

    19. I’m a blue bubble in FL, didn’t vote for any of this shit, and the increase in my ACA monthly premium is disgusting. I have a 2025 bronze Cigna plan that is $483/mo with a $6500 deductible, and I receive about a $40 subsidy. I can live without the subsidy, but the exact same plan is now $738.80/mo. I can’t even imagine how this monthly premium jump impacts those who rely on the subsidies. People will just not get insurance again impacting their own health, the health of their kids, and adding extra burden on the emergency and urgent care services.

    20. Senator Kaine may think he’s going to be fine when his next election comes because of the time period, but a lot of Virginians are fucking livid and will not forget this. I will enjoy primarying his ass with a more progressive candidate who has a spine

    21. To the 30 million Americans who didn’t vote as some form of protest…fuck you.

    22. The_SubGenius on

      Remember when democrats voted to end the shutdown without securing ASA subsidies? I do. Fuck you guys.

    23. AccomplishedOyster on

      The Democrat senators that voted to reopen the govt need to be primaried and remembered forever for the pain they are causing. Each one should get a flooded inbox of voicemail’s or emails calling them cowards. We all saw this coming and they still caved.

    24. VincentMac1984 on

      This is going to be devastating for a lot of people. I agree the system is broken but just completely abandoning it, without any sort of plan isn’t just reckless… It’s dangerous and people will likely die because of it.

    25. AceofKnaves44 on

      “Guys, we want you to be broke, sick, and die. I don’t know how much more clear we can make that.”

    26. VocationalWizard on

      I hate to say it but the only thing that is going to get Americans to change healthcare is widespread pain.

      Texas and Florida will be experiencing that pain.

    27. MoonChainer on

      I’m sick and fucking tired of „gentlemen’s agreements“ being the foundation for governance. We need more Direct Democracy functions that only voters are allowed to determine. The very rules of engagement need an external accounting system that powerful people can’t manipulate in the middle of work.

    28. JerryDipotosBurner on

      > Negotiations between moderates and GOP leadership on an amendment to extend the subsidies hit a roadblock over the weekend as GOP leaders and other conservatives said any language extending the expensive subsidies would need to be paired with spending cuts, The Hill previously reported.

      Any spending related to healthcare needs to be met with cuts to other social programs, BUT we can spend LITERALLY UNLIMITED AMOUNTS OF MONEY on wars, ICE, and bailing other countries out.

      I am SO FUCKING SICK of this garbage from the GOP. We have the money. You’ve shown time and time again it’s there!

    29. happiwarriorgoddess on

      Senate Dems caved for no reason. Corporate sellouts. We need an opposition party.

    30. tinygraysiamesecat on

      Wow who saw that coming?

      Fuck all the democrats who capitulated during the budget showdown. You failed your constituents and gained absolutely nothing. 

    31. RunRunRunAFAUC on

      LMFAO! so the democrats who detailed the shutdown effort on a promise that they would get a vote, aren’t going to get a vote? WHO COULDVE GUESSSED?!?!!?!?

    32. cyberdude419 on

      Too many Democrats are Republicans in disguise! Looking at you Pennsylvania Senator, fucking traitor!

    33. DrowningKrown on

      Fuck both sides of the government right now. Dems caved during the government shutdown for a PROMISE of a vote on the extension of ACA subsidies in December. Well dems, we’re here. Every single person could have told you how stupid it was to make that decision but hey they probably don’t care at this point.
